Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla has witnessed a solid surge in its second weekend run. On Day 9 (second Saturday), the film earned ₹10.75 crore net, pushing its total India net collection to ₹100.90 crore and officially crossing the ₹100 crore milestone.
Bhooth Bangla Box Office: Weekend Recovery After Slow Friday
The film had slowed down on Day 8 (second Friday), collecting ₹5.75 crore net. However, it bounced back strongly on Saturday with nearly double the earnings.
Day 9 gross collection reached ₹12.90 crore, while theatre occupancy improved to around 22% across 9,266 shows.
This sudden rise reflects growing weekend footfall, especially from family audiences, a pattern often seen when films gain traction through positive word of mouth rather than opening-day hype.
Bhooth Bangla Worldwide Collection: Strong Global Performance
On the international front, Bhooth Bangla continues to perform steadily. The film has now reached a worldwide gross of ₹161.60 crore, including:
- India gross: ₹120.10 crore
- Overseas earnings: ₹41.50 crore
This performance places it among Akshay Kumar's stronger recent releases, particularly in a genre that depends heavily on audience acceptance over star-driven openings.
Akshay Kumar Career Milestone: 20 Films in ₹100 Crore Club
With this success, Akshay Kumar has added another milestone to his career, as Bhooth Bangla becomes his 20th film to cross the ₹100 crore net mark.
This further strengthens his standing as one of Bollywood's most consistent box office performers. The achievement is notable given the competitive release environment and shifting audience preferences.
The film is also currently the third highest-grossing Bollywood release of the year, trailing Dhurandhar 2 and Border 2.
Bhooth Bangla Success: Akshay-Priyadarshan Reunion Wins Audiences
A major talking point behind the film's performance is the reunion of Akshay Kumar with director Priyadarshan. Their collaboration, known for delivering popular comedies in the past, has returned with a horror-comedy twist.
The mix of humour, nostalgia, and light horror elements appears to have struck a chord with audiences, helping the film maintain momentum beyond its opening phase.
Bhooth Bangla Box Office: Sunday Now in Focus
Following the strong Saturday growth, attention now turns to the Sunday numbers. If the upward trend continues, Bhooth Bangla could finish its second weekend on an even higher note, strengthening its overall box office run in the coming weeks.
